Controlling the COD removal of an A-stage pilot study with instrumentation and automatic process control
The pursuit of fully autotrophic nitrogen removal via the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) pathway has led to an increased interest in carbon removal technologies, particularly the A-stage of the adsorption/bio-oxidation (A/B) process. The high-rate operation of the A-stage and lack of automatic process control often results in wide variations of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal ...

How big data is revolutionising metals analysis
We’ve seen data emerge as a key resource for businesses in the last decade, and the metals industry is no different. Whilst investment has been made into process control and optimization, the industry has for many years lagged behind the likes of banking and media in its adoption of new digital technologies. The pace is picking up though – with innovations in analytics, mobile ...

Instrument air case study
Application Moisture is measured in instrument air to ensure that the air is properly dried. Problem Instrument air is used through-out a facility to protect delicate electronics, instruments, and to operate key process actuators. Many instruments also use instrument air to operate various pneumatic operators they might possess. Too frequently, there is excessive moisture present in the ...

Ebook: Chemical Processes
Many chemical processes routinely release hazardous gases and vapors into an exhaust or waste gas system. To protect personnel, property, and the environment from unexpected dangers, these streams often need to be monitored continuously and kept well within safe levels.In the event of an unexpected or accidental increase in gases/vapors, the monitoring systems must be able to make quick and ...

Paperless at Schering
Schering-Plough has made the transition to a paperless system for managing instrument calibration records. Frankly, I applaud this initiative. Given the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry’s relatively cautious approach to adopting electronic records-keeping systems, Schering- Plough’s decision to dispense with paper in the critical (in terms of GMP) arena of calibration is ...

Out with the Old?
As growth in digitalisation sees manufacturers increasingly moving towards purely electronic sensors, iCenta Controls explores the future for mechanical flow instruments and their place in the market. Should companies continue to invest in mechanical flow technology or move towards developing non-invasive intelligent sensors? The answer, of course, is they should do both. But the question goes ...

Scrubers with a level head
The available methods for removing pollutants from a gas stream are numerous, to say the least. A popular method, scrubbers allow users to separate gases and solids by allowing the gas to come into contact with a liquid stream. In the end, the pollutants are washed away in the effluent, and the gas exits the system to be used in later processes or to be released into the atmosphere. For many ...
